Read Freely is taking their next Beyond the Bookshelf talk to Eufaula! Join us Oct. 1 at 6:00 p.m. at the Old Pecan Factory to discuss Alabama’s public libraries, recent ideological and bigoted code changes within the APLS, the threat to your First Amendment rights, and what you can do as a citizen to defend our public libraries and our constitutional rights. Dinner will be provided!

Read Freely Alabama welcomed supporters from across the state for a virtual town hall with the League of Women Voters of Alabama, focused on voting rights, voter participation, and civic engagement ahead of Alabama’s November 3 general election.

This week, APLS board member and Moms for Liberty sympathizer Amy Minton told far-right blog 1819 News that Alabama libraries had 8000 titles that might violate the administrative code changes she pushed, censoring books about transgender people.

Please join our friends at Alabama Arise’s kick-off event to learn how to protect our public schools from these anti-democratic, out-of-state organizations - like Florida-based Moms For Liberty, whose members have overtaken local school boards and crafted the playbook to ban books across the United States.
